                                              "Footprints In The Sand"

 
                                      One 
                                   night I      that   
                                 had good   I was    the
                                 dream I    walking  Lord     saw
                                  was dre   on the    across  scenes  for                                                                                   
                                   eam        beach    dark     of my  each
                                    ing           with     sky       life    scene
                                                                                  I had
                                              noticed two sets of foot
                                         prints in the sand one belonging
                                       to me and the other to the Lord. When
                                     the last scene of my life shot before me
                                   I looked back at the footprints in the sand
                                    and to my surprise I noticed that many 
                                   times along the path of my life there was
                                  only one set of footprints just when I needed
                                 Him. I looked up to the Lord and said "Why"?
                                 I could see this was during the worst times 
                                 of my life. This bothered me so I looked at the
                                 Lord and I questioned Him about my dilemma,
                                  "My Lord, you told me that when I decided to 
                                     follow that you would be with me  along the 
                                      way, but during the  hardest times of my
                                        life, there was only one set of footprints
                                          When I   needed You, You doubted me."
                                            The Lord said, "Dear Child, during your
                                             trials is when I carried you, I love you."

Laura, I love the Shape, and this is on my favorite poem list. I was going to place it high, however, I was not sure if this counts as an entry, being the words are not your original. Anyways, I enjoyed seeing and reading the beauty of love once again. Congrats on the win. Enjoy my newest blog "One More Thing" if you'd like. Always ~LINDA~

WOW, creative. This is one of my most favorite poets. As a matter of fact, this is the poem, that inspired me to write poetry at the age of 12. I'm going to fav this poem, not because it is a fav already. But, for the reason you brought the print and gave it shape. WUV LINDA
